The DulIest of the Week-SpeculatOrs Wake up a Little Toward the Close Final Prices at or Near the Best of the Day.
 NEW YORK, May A. The market was still duller than on any previous day this week, showing no animation throughout the day except just at the opening and the close The opening was somewhat irregular, though de- clnes from last evenings prices were recorded in majority The changes, however, ranged from 34 per cent below to E per cent above. First prices were generally the lowest of the day, the market advancing throughout from the opening, New England being specially prominent in the first hour. The market soon became extremely dull when Fort Worth and Denver assumed the lead. There was no change whatever in the condition of the market til the last hour when little more animation was accompanied by increased strength and the market closed quite strong at near the best figures of the day.
 Closing prices reported over the private wires of BUNNELL 6 SCRANTON, Bankers and Brokers:

TO INCLUDE BARGEs AND TUGS.

Early in the session this morning the House decided to concur in recalling from the office of the Secretary of State the bill providing that sailing vessels shall be taxed on their net earnings. The Senate yesterday voted to recall so as to include if possible bill. Towards the close of the session the bill, after it had been recalled, was lost, 75 to 50
 GRADE CROSSINGS.
 Representative Hyde offered resolution authorizing the appointment of joint com mittee of four representatives and two sen ators to whom shall be referred the grade crossing bill. The resolution passed.
 ADHERED TO FORMER ACTION.
 The resolution, which passed the Senate yesterday, paying the members of the tax commission $500 each, caused much discus sion in the House this morning when it came back for reconsideration. Representa- tive Davis said he was tired of seeing some of the members of the commission lobbying to get chance to fleece the treasury. Rep resentative Andrews seid it was time to kick out the nine bloodsuckers, leeches and thieves who wanted to rob the treasury of $4, 800 for nothing. It was disgraceful act on their part to make this attempt to rob the State. The motion to adhere to the Houses former action was then passed.
 GROWTH OF GRADE CROSSINGS. A table on the growth of grade crossings which the Courant published yesterday, is herewith printed. It is shown by it that the crossings have increased 24 per cent, not. withstanding the fact that during the last thirteen years the law forbade grade cross ing except when sanctioned by the railroad commissioners.

 sion to Get No Money Alter All-The House Adheres to Former Action Grade Crossings and the Courantss Table-A Comm un1eation From the Railroad Commissioners Regarding It. = HARTFORD, May 4, 1887. Special to the JOURNAL AND CoURIER.l Warm weather set in with vengeance at the Capitol to-day and the lawmakers hur- ried matters through both houses. The res olution passed by the House providing for adjournment Wednesday next was received in the Senate this morning, but was tabled. There are many matters still before the legis- lature which can scarcely receive anything better than hasty action. The high license bill will be likely to occupy a day. The Hartford county toll bridge question has only just been entered upon in the House. A sharp debate is promised in the House on the question of changing the location of the Storrs Agricultural school. The grade cross ing bill is swinging in the wind between the Senate and the House, with prospect of considerable time being required to make it satisfactory. The bill abolishing the shell fish commission will provoke much debate The woman suffrage bill will consume con- siderable time. The matters named are those of chief importance yet to be acted on
 
 the work they can very well do up to We'd nesday. The fve-minute rule should be adopted or some other plan. to check the flow of eloquence, which is becoming greater and more and more wasteful of time as the ses- sion draws to close.
 $10,000 ASKED FOR.
 The bill providing for military representa- tion of Connecticut at Philadelphia in Sep tember was taken up and caused much dis cussion. Senator Hill st1enuously opposed it and said he was informed that the appro- priations already exceeded the estimates by $400,000. He claimed it was time to stop appropriations for all excepting necessary things. The appropriation was reduced from SIG, 900 to $1O,0OO. The Foot Guard amount was raised from $1,O00 to $1, ,500. Senator Henry, chairman of the appropriations committee, stated for the enlightenment of the senators that the appropriations up to yesterday amounted for the two years was $3, 200, ,OO0. Senator Coffin urged the lack of need of the appro- priation for the trip. Senator Beckwlth op- posed the appropriation. Senator Staub said that in voting the senators should re- member the interests of the taxpayer. Sen ator Gallagher made a strong speech in fa- vor He argued that Connecticut, the State always foremost in generosity, should be represented at Philadelphia. Senator Ora ham wanted a $5,000 appropriation. He thought the amount asked for entirely too much. Senator Sumner favored in good speech. The matter was finally tabled after further debate.
